Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

Owners describe wipers unable to clear heavy rain at high speed, leaving the windshield blinding and forcing them to slow down sharply to see the road.
Some report wiper motors and mounts becoming loose over time, causing the blades to skip and leave streaks that block visibility during rain.
Others say the wiper speed itself is too slow to keep up with moderate to heavy rain, reducing visibility to the point of needing to pull over.
One owner reported snow buildup on the roof sliding onto the windshield, where wiper motion pushed it toward the center and jammed the blades, contributing to a crash.
